In addition to being a pilgrimage, it is also a sacred meeting place of spirituality, religion, culture, feelings, and tradition. It is observed on the eve of Makar Sankranti, showcasing India’s profound spiritual connection and cultural cohesion. When the sun passes into Capricorn, it heralds the end of winter and the onset of long days. This also represents the onset of positivity, rejuvenation, and harvesting period. Pilgrims show their devotion to Surya Dev, paying homage to him for prosperity and bountiful harvests and harmony with nature.
Traditionally, during Makar Sankranti people in India prepare various delicacies made of sesame seeds and jaggery. Other traditional practices include flying kites symbolizing liberty and togetherness.
Legends also connect Gangasagar with the origin of some religious rituals. According to Hindu mythology, the 60,000 sons of the King Sagara were liberated due to the blessings of the holy river Ganga descending to the earth due to the penance of Bhagiratha. They got purified by taking a dip in the waters of the confluence, where even today Sage Kapila, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, dwells.
According to scriptures, Lord Balarama and Lord Nityananda Prabhu have visited Gangasagar, making it highly spiritual.
